Outside of Draymond himself, Kerr is the one who is at fault here. He is still using words like "unfortunate" and "he will bounce back" as if something bad happened to Draymond.

No one blaming Steve Kerr or the warriors franchise for enabling Draymond to this point. Constantly defending him when he was in the wrong. Steph deserves much better.

The emotions on Steph’s face said it all last night. He probably knows in his heart that a change is needed. So Unfortunate too because he is still playing at such a high level and Draymond is ruining it 🙈

Draymond gonna diss Jay on his podcast. 😂

Depending on another man to control another man Is tier 1 INSANE WORK!!!

The "how does this effect Curry's legacy" meme is officially BORN🔥🔥

“Steph deserves better” is the most honest way to say about this situation , and it is really selfish

Molly actually made a good point: is Draymond choosing not to control his emotions or is he genuinely not aware of his emotions at times? We all have breaking points as human beings, fair enough. To me, he’s flat out CHOOSING NOT TO reel his emotions in. He will never change. Adam Silver dropped the ball giving Draymond that phony “indefinite” suspension. 18 games is a JOKE. Only reason he didn’t suspend him the entire season is to keep them relevant in the play-in tournament race.

Draymond is a narcissist. Every time he does something wrong, he comes on his podcast and apologizes but then also starts rambling on and on to "give more context". Eventually, he paints a picture of him being a victim of circumstances to justify his behavior. That means he's never really remorseful and won't change. He doesn't see himself ever as truly in the wrong. Narcs never change and I don't expect him to.

Molly was waiting to chime in about that relationship analogy🌹👀

I feel bad for Curry. I DON'T feel bad for the Warriors -- they all know who Green is as a player and they gave him that contract extension. you make the bed, now lie in it!

Broke my heart to see Steph Curry shed tears cause Draymond don't see the big picture

Draymond has no sense of accountability, maturity, and professionalism. Steph deserves better from Draymond.

Steph knows that he’s emotionally done with Draymond for this day forward. Last night he seems to be mourning his care for trying to save Draymond. Ship him off to Detroit

Telling a grown man to control another grown man is INSANE

“Remorse is only greatly appreciated when there’s change behind it” 💯

as a warriors fan, i'm tired of this clown. he needs to go.

That girlfriend analogy was savage 😂

You cant control Draymond. Steph knows it more than anyone and that what we saw yesterday

Draymond Green will argue with a brick wall😂

Draymond doesn't want to play anymore, ejections is his form of quitting in real time. ...🧐

nobody texted Jwill that😂

Didn’t Draymond literally cost the Warriors a championship? Thank God KD showed up to give em 2 more

Seriously it's time for the warriors to permanently cut Draymond loose.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. The Warriors have enabled Draymond for too long. He is who is and he’s not changing for anyone.

That emotional reaction from Steph was a sign that he’s done with Draymond. That tearing up reminds me of the trope of the parent going to the umpteenth juvenile court arraignment with their problem child when they realize their child is a lost cause and beyond their help. Mark my words, he just let Draymond go in his heart. Steph is done with Draymond after this year. Draymond gets traded this offseason.

The ownership really should take notice that not one player or Warrior coach was willing to get in between Draymond and the ref, in order to protect him from himself.

Wow you mean the 10 game suspension didnt change his attitude or teach him any lessons? Im shocked

That gobert video still crazy asf 🤣

Jay just making stuff up😂😂😂

He's too volatile. No rehab will change him 😑

Draymond not going to diminish Stephen curry legacy Jay be talking crazy

That's why I get confused when analysts talk about play Superstars like Steph and LeBron and KD got a hold other players accountable for their bad actions when that person cannot or will not listen you can only tell a person so much what they need to do to correct certain matters it's up to them to change nobody can make other people change but themselves personally

lol Steph ain’t no confrontational dude, but if I was him I would’ve gotten rid of draymond and Steve Kerr a long time ago

Phenomenal takes and rebuttals all around great coverage 💯🔥

Why they want Steph to publicly criticize Draymond so bad ?? Media weird

Call it what it is. Lack of maturity.

That’s a grown man lmao he’s what 34 with whole kids, This ain’t on Steph, He’s not his baby sitter smh, ESPN agenda takes, this why I’m glad Bron and other players doing podcast now

Steph knows that he can still do it. That he can still push for one final run to get his 5th. Unfortunately, not everybody has the same conviction.

I feel behind close doors I truly believe Draymond Green has a tab bit of a jealousy streak any time someone new comes onto the team that’s getting more attention than him. Then he starts acting out and giving the bully syndrome or having his childish tantrums.

Nice seeing jwill back on espn

Curry cannot babysit Draymond! No one can!

Need that next Nurkic soundbite and 🎤 drop that

It's crazy how Draymond was trying to make light of himself getting ejected by waiting and doing putting them to sleep.I can only imagine the look on Steph face.

Draymond Green is an habitual line stepper. Habitually. You think after that he learned his lesson right? WRONG! This is Draymond Green we're talking about here. Draymond Green Man😂😂😂

Draymond is never going to change he knows wat he doing Steph can’t control Draymond none of them can or they scared to do so

Mollys agreement in her voice with the relationship analogy has me thinking she's still going through that divorce pain

I actually think both sides of this argument are true. The reason Draymond Green is still in Golden State is because Steph Curry doesn't want to play without him. Draymond is like Steph's security blanket because Draymond knows how to set screens and get Steph the ball. Therefore, Draymond, who has a narcissistic personality, believes himself to be untouchable. If the front office thought they could bring the hammer down on Draymond without it possibly making him mad and want to leave and thus making Steph angry,then they would. Curry needs to make it clear to Draymond that his self-imposed unavailability is a deal breaker because it is visibly stressing out the entire time and coaching staff. Steph has talked to him behind the scenes, but Draymond ultimately knows Steph wants him in Golden State, so he feels invincible.

Draymond should exercise the same restraint these ex pros do when Molly keeps talking over them.

Draymond is a habitual line stepper

That 4yr/$100 mil contract looking mighty funny right now.

The season just started now it’s almost the playoffs time flew

Draymond is the reason I've said, 'I never want to get too close (relational) with anyone where we lose the ability to be honest (candid) with each other.' Obviously, I don't know but I would bet a years wages that none of those allegedly close to him hassaid, "Bro! You need to cut this $h1t out. You've got some emotional issues you need to deal with."

KD would have stayed at GSW if Draymond wasn't the way he is.

6:56-7:04 I would've loved to see Steph just walk past Draymond and ignore him. (Warriors fan for nearly a decade)

Don't usually watch First Take let alone a whole segment when Stephen A isn't there but this was interesting

Lebron Jordan and Kobe are who they are and thats why they are great. They command respect and discipline and are the alphas of their team. Draymond doesnt fear Steph so he cant tow the line. Steph should step up and really speak his mind when it comes to both Klay and Draymond because at the end of the day its his franchise.

It’s hard to feel sorry for the Warriors, they’ve enabled him

7:10 I thing I hated is how Draymond after the game was all smiles and embracing Curry for getting them outve that situation like he didn't almost cost them the game. He might not understand the seeding situation or care but there's others on that team that do and Kerr and Curry need to hold him accountable for that.

If Gsw can get rid of Iggy after he questioned GS training staff handling KD's achilles, they can get rid of Draymond for being a distraction to the team

the warriors could still have KD and/or poole right now but they have draymond who can’t even stay on the court 😂 insane

i'm convinced that when Green retires, he will be in the NBA Hall of Fame. i'm also convinced that his attitude and demeanor will also get him arrested and put in jail....

They’re last post was about this 😂

I remember when Dennis Rodman would get ejected numerous times when he was with the Bulls but it was always after he got his 15-18 rebounds and the Bulls were about to win. Draymond is constantly getting ejected when the Warriors are fighting to stay in the play-in.

"Draymond is a great teammate" narrative is such bs. The dude told the most skilled player on their team to leave after begging him to join in the first place, and punched his other teammate for no reason. There's a difference between being passionate about something and being just straight up unstable.

I love draymond, but his just. But his not realizing that his behavior is affecting the team .Once he gets hot, he keeps pushing his emotions onto the whole team ,his not thinking about the stress he has created

JWill stop lying brother. Aint no high level people texting you. We all see through your BS

Makes you wonder about the jp situation

I don’t doubt Steph has been a leader off court and made his point to Dray, but in this instance last night, Steph could have and should have pulled Dray away from the situation. He was literally standing in the middle. That’s also a moment for leadership. Would MJ, or Bron or other greats that we laud for leadership have just stood there and passively let that escalate? Dray is the one that has to change for sure. It’s his fault, but of all the teammates and coaches, I think Steph is the only one that can step in during those moments and remove him and honestly put him on his place.

Draymond is just showing us the fatherless inner-city individual he's always been

I teach Anger Management Classes. Anger is a secondary emotion that comes from 4 primary emotions Hurt, Fear, Fustration, and Stress. The problem for Draymond he hasn't figure the trigger what causes his anger

What’s mind blowing is the fact it was 4 minutes into the 1st bro like calm down draymond it’s a whole game to play

You can tell Steph is getting FED TF UP wit Dray antics. The Warriors Dynasty as we know it is OVER!! I doubt if Dray or Klay be back nxt szn. Steph is in the twilight of his career and wants to win at least another chip(5) before retiring so there’s no doubt who’s the PG GOAT !! But him not saying nothing and being too quiet questions the respect.

Molly plzzzzz you don’t gotta continuously keep ppl off to say the obvious just so you can speak…..NOBODY TUNES IN TO HEAR YOU

Well bout time SOMEBODY ON THIS NETWORK FN SAID IT!!!

I hate when media says “I’m not saying that but” Nah y’all are the only ones saying that

JWill loves calling out Steph's leadership every time he gets it.😂

I'm interrupting ESPN's coverage of basketball to talk about an athletic performance of a lifetime... in ice skating. Illia Malinin just did something no other athlete in the sport has ever done and he must be a contender for ESPN's sports performance and athlete of the year. At the World Championships 2024, Illia Malinin, in 4 minutes, revolutionized skating by completing 6 quads, in a world where just one quad is considered Herculean. ESPN is filled with a bunch of straight men who will look right past the sequins, because their manhood is threatened, and give awards to athletes in football, basketball, and baseball. For ESPN to deny Illia Malinin recognition will be an affront to the sport of ice skating and demean his athletic genius.

Was that hug at the end of this game? I know better!!!

Man keep legs and jwill on. Thats good bball talk

Why can’t Molly just ask the question and be quiet, she ALWAYS have to say something when someone speaks

No he is actually enhancing Steph’s legacy because Steph has had to win despite Draymond’s bs

Y'all crazy blaming steph for Drays craziness

Legs looking real Mystic River Sean Penn these days...

Steph is checked out already

Lord Molly annoying

I can't wait for Drays HIGH-LEVEL excuse. #newmedia 😂

They(the Warriors) have enabled Green. They keep saying they need him, but they can't seem to get him to be steady. That horse is way out of the barn on the countryside over on the other side of the mountain. He can't be put back. The Warriors "should" let that bronco be free and padlock the shed. He actions show that he can't be controlled. So...give him what he wants; let him run free on the prairie, where the deer and the antelope play. If I'm the owner/coach, I tell him this: "Go home. We'll go with what we have. Your experience but unpredictability is worse than the team's inexperience but reliability." THAT'S LEADERSHIP.

Production team gotta be ready with those clips smh.

He know you can't put your hands on a official.

Curry should not be responsible for greens actions but anybody who got on kd for not forcing kyrie to get a shot should than keep the same energy for this case.

Steph needs to tell Draymond... "I am the Leader, you are the Enforcer... Leave the Ref alone and let's go."

I like Draymond but GS doesn’t “need” him. They can pick up a center like Andre Drummond and be in way better shape in the standings

You can be a good leader that doesnt mean everyones going to follow

After the season is over the Warriors need to get rid of Draymond, one way or another. Trade him if they can, or just cut him from the team. As a long-time Warriors fan I am sick of his antics and believe that the team will be better without him. He cannot be relied on.

Steph stood there just like he stood there when Draymond got into it with Poole. Same as when Draymond got into it with KD. If ESPN can condemn KD's leadership for a Kyrie tweet they can surely question Steph for Draymond's actions.

Unpredictable. Not unstable

At this rated it’s outrageous

The Warriors have no choice but to trade Draymond during the off season. The team needs rebuilding anyway and he's just not worth the trouble. It's only a matter of time before he kicks, stomps, punches, or chokes someone again.

Prayer is everything get one more ring and dray can retire jay was spot on with his point 💯
